  • We recently went on a road trip to East Sussex which included driving around part of London on the M25. The roadtrip took about three hours each way. We were visiting friends to collect a new tool for the workshop and to borrow one of his tractors. I hope you enjoy travelling with us.

    When I was much younger we had a tractor very similar to the Landmaster. Looking forward to seeing more on that in the future. Great drill and really like the vintage styling. Thanks for taking us along

      Thanks. We think the drill is 1950's or 60's. Our Landmaster has us confused, I think the previous owne has made a lot of changes. The other machine will help a lot. Take care

    That was a looooong tunnel! I'll never get used to being on the wrong side of the road. Nice scenery. I like the new tool, and will be interested in seeing it in action. Oh, good on the loaner machine.

    Those Landmaster tractors are very rare I`m sure. I have never seen one in real life and they are something to own. I enjoyed the road trip and I found it very interesting to be driving on the opposed side of the road but then for you guys, we are on the opposed side and we are the ones that are in the wrong lane. I liked the visit and what you purchased.....CHEERS

    How's she goin'? Thanks for taking us along on your road trip. I enjoyed that. Some impressive infrastructures there with the highways, bridge and tunnel. The Landmaster is nice to have as a guide for the rebuild. And that is a beefy looking drill press too. Take 'er easy!!

    • @GardenTractorBoy

    Hello Joseph, Thank you so much for taking us along on this trip. I really enjoyed it! The road trip reminded me of our driving experiences in Australia and New Zealand. For us, driving on the left required full attention by both of us at all times, making sure we were going to survive the trip. Have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍

    that was a very interesting road trip, I've never been over there so it was nice to get to see how things look in the UK. I imagine that old drill press is a very strong one, generally the older a machine is, the better it is.

    • @GardenTractorBoy
      @GardenTractorBoy  4 дня назад

    The little ride on looks a lot like one that I have. I think that mine is a "Grant's". Grant's Five and Dime Stores were very popular up to the 1970s, in the US. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were my favorite place to get cashews. Nice drill press. Clean and regrease all bearings on the drill press before using it. They are most likely dried out. The old greases did not last more than 40 years and that drill press, like my 4 are all atleast 40 years old. Good Luck, Rick

    • @GardenTractorBoy
      @GardenTractorBoy  4 дня назад +1

      It is really cool that you have the same machine. We are really struggling to work out the drive on ours, if we were to start the engine it would engage the drive and turn the blades on the deck. It is good to have another machine to see the differences. We think the drill press is 1950's or 60's. Take care

      Thanks for following along. It is always very interesting to look at roads in different countries. We do have too many American food places. We always pick the right hand tunnel as it tends to be less traffic so I think we are familiar with driving that bit on the right. Take care

    • @GardenTractorBoy
      @GardenTractorBoy  4 дня назад

    Like seeing your country from your windshield view
    Very different and more interesting than anything we see on TV here in the states
    Actually very similar to the midwestern US other that your driving on the other side of the road and the navigation lady has a British accent 😂
    Have a great week !

    Hi Joseph and Camera Man.
    Nice trip. Great tool find. And the borrowed tractor is a great thing to have to compare too. Very nice of them to loan it to you 👍🏻
    This video trip reminds me of my son and I leaving PEI and going to Ontario to pick up the loader from Gator @Gators World. Traffic, bridges, tunnels and all that sort of stuff, the only difference was, we were travelling on the right lane and you are in the wrong lane. 🤭🤭🤭🤭
    Have a great day fellas. 👋👋👍🏻👍🏻

    Great video, Joseph! England is such a neat place. And the countryside looks a lot like here in Oklahoma.

    The sticker in the windshield says Max height 2.5 mtr but I think you went much higher when you crossed that bridge! 😂🤣😂 We have a tunnel in my area similar to the one you went through. Our tunnel goes through a mountain instead of having to drive up and over. Looks like you got a good and sturdy drill 👍
